Experian Ushers in a New Age of Consumer Empowerment and Financial Access

In a move that will reshape the way consumers get access to credit, Experian®, the world's leading information services company, announced today it will launch Experian Boost, a free, groundbreaking online platform that allows consumers to instantly influence their credit scores.

Through the new platform, consumers can grant permission for Experian Boost to connect to their online bank accounts to identify and access utility and telecommunications payments. After a consumer verifies the data and confirms they want it added to their Experian credit file, an updated FICO ® Score is delivered in real time.
